Sat 14 December 2024 Hello devs this is a good little app. I’m using it for a project but three things would make it even better; 🌷🌷 1, please change menu titles colour? At bottom of screen. Can’t see red on black 🌷🌷 2, please can we have a “save settings“ option? Eg, Font/ type speed/ colour … so if you want to carry on with same font etc you don’t have to change everything each time you begin a new one. 🌷🌷 I’ve made about 8, and it becomes repetitive for painful hands, whereas this feature would help and to save time. 🌷🌷 3, additional fonts eg Lucida Grande please? 🌷🌷 Would be grateful for your help with these items. 🌷🌷 Regards ### 3/5 — Bad *2024-11-29* It was supposed to be a typing thing and it is a editing thing ### 3/5 — Decent *2023-11-21* Would benefit from a few more options for the subscription fee. A less expensive option has more options. And I have made up my mind. Definitely gi ### 3/5 — Add font *2023-06-24, version 2.1.2* If only I could import my own fonts😓 ### 4/5 — What’s not to love? *2023-03-04* Does what it says and does it well. Awesome app! Thank you for this! **Developer response:** Thank you so much 🥰 ### 3/5 — It does what I want. Most of the time. *2021-12-17* It gives me all the tools i need to make the text appear at the exact right time In the right font and how but it should be. But half of the time it doesn’t let me download the video of it. **Developer response:** Do you see "Pro Only - Remove Limit" button on top-right of video? ### 3/5 — Would be 5 stars but… *2021-11-18* This app is cool it’s exactly what I was looking for. I’d give it 5 stars but for some reason when I save the video to my camera roll, the color is much more dull on my camera roll than it appears in the app. In the app the color is bright and looks amazing. Not sure why this happens but hopefully it’ll get fixed. Other than that, this is a great app and easy to use. ### 2/5 — Time of edit doesn’t match download *2021-09-02* I edit a video for exactly 2:06 and it shows up at 9:01 second after I save it to my camera roll… and I can’t seem to change it **Developer response:** Hi, I fixed in the newest version. Thanks for using Typewriter ### 4/5 — Keep Improving *2021-07-21, version 2.0.2* Great app ### 3/5 — It could be a great tool *2021-07-05, version 2.0.1* So, the app is definitely on the way to becoming a day tool for this kind of videos. It is intuitive and easy to use. But unfortunately it still has a long way to go when it comes to the pro version. I paid for the pro content and I was never able to use it. The app didn’t recognize my purchase and when I tried to re-establish it, the screen just kept loading and loading and it never took me anywhere and it never gave me the content. I wrote to the app support system and the wrote back with a: “ What subscription did you get? Weedly, monthly or yearly?” I replied and then I never heard back after that. so, if you don’t mind having to deal with the watermark of the app within your videos go for it. As for the pro version of the app, I recommend don’t buying it. ### 3/5 — Needs more fonts *2021-06-26* This app would be great but it didn’t have the font I wanted known as Free Serif and even when I install it on iOS the app did not pick it up ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1:20 pm *2025-10-01* I just paid for this and it won’t download my finished video/gif. What a waste of money that I don’t really have. Very frustrated and sad. ### 1/5 — Can’t share to my gallery. I’m disappointed *2025-06-21, version 2.2.1* Can’t share to my gallery. I’m disappointed. Can’t create GIF . Can’t do anything with. ### 1/5 — FAKE APP *2025-01-14* App is not working ### 1/5 — Paid subscription *2023-10-13* Paid for the weeks subscription to pro but didn’t apply in app!!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad bad bad bad bad bad so bad 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2022-12-21, version 2.1.2* I hate it so much👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — My story *2022-12-21, version 2.1.2* It just deleted those 20 pages I have been working on those for hours ### 1/5 — No instructions! *2022-03-06, version 2.1.1* This is useless! ### 1/5 — Another greedy app with product that doesn’t warrant subscription *2021-10-22* This app charges 72 dollars a year to be able to use a typewriter effect. Just let that sink in. The app doesn’t provide new content or anything to warrant being subscription based. It’s a ripoff by a greedy developer ### 1/5 — FULL SCREEN ADS *2021-06-22, version 2.0.1* JUNK. INSTANT ONE STAR. YOU CANT DO LITERALLY ANYTHING WITHOUT SEEING A FULL SCEEN AD EVERY TIME. SCAM APP. CLEARLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR USERS. UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD. DO NOT SUPPORT ANY DEVELOPER THAT INCLUDES FULL SCREEN ADS! THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS! ### 1/5 — Impossible to use *2020-12-26, version 1.9.2* A total garbage! Even buying it does not give access! A total rip off! It is a SHAME that apple permits this kind of steal inside their business!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What’s not to love? *2024-09-23* Does what it says and does it well. Awesome app! Thank you for this! Just wonderful! **Developer response:** Thank you so much 🥰 ### 5/5 — What’s not to love? *2024-09-01* Does what it says and does it well. Awesome app! Thank you for this! Just wonderful! **Developer response:** Thank you so much 🥰 ### 5/5 — Underrated *2024-05-13* I’ve been using this app for years for lots of different video editing and content creation projects. I went to re-install this app and saw it had like very little reviews and stars 💀 So I give this app a big fat whopping 5 starts! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Top of the *2024-03-26* J’aime bien 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — What’s not to love? *2023-07-21* Does what it says and does it well. Awesome app! Thank you for this! Just wonderful! **Developer response:** Thank you so much 🥰 ### 5/5 — Amazing tool! *2023-02-26* It’s really awesome!🙏😊 ### 5/5 — This app is great for a lot of things! *2022-08-09* This particular app has one of the best sets of free features, (and paid I’m sure). Though, I wish we could remove or upload videos as the background. (because as of now you can do image or solid colour backgrounds, just not videos). I got this app to try and put a typing text overlay onto a prerecorded video, which I’m unable to do without either of those features. Honestly though, I’m not too bothered because other than that, this app is amazing. It has a great set of free features and is not only easily usable, unlike other “free” apps I’ve tried, but you can make some really cool stuff! ### 5/5 — Dope app without 1 feature *2022-06-06* App is awesome and doing that it suppose to do but it really need possibility to change typing sound ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-05-25* Mind blowing app ### 5/5 — Winner winner chicken dinner🏆 *2021-12-05* You guys should get this a p p. So I’m waiting and you can make really cool videos and choose your text font and color and size and lots of cool effects that you guys could always use; and you guys can change the background to some cool pictures in your album or a really good color; get this a PP --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
